Ellie is Three!
Today is Ellie’s 3rd birthday. Yesterday we had no school since it was a holiday, so we made it “Ellie day”. We celebrated by taking her to some of her favorite places…the playground and etc. She enjoyed watching a huge parade, and of course we had to have cake & ice cream and all the decorations!

Corpus Christi parade- the gigantes (giants)

The cabezudos (big heads)- notice the little ball things in their hands. They used these to bop people on the heads. Evan got hit 5 times. He was a little scared at first, but by the end was enjoying it.

This cabezudo grabbed Evan into the street for a picture

Ellie is loving all the presents! Thanks SO much to all who contributed to her pile of gifts! We are spreading them out so she can enjoy them even more!
